The band recently spent time at New York City’s venerable Electric Lady Studios, according to the story published this afternoon.

While 2011’s “Angles” marked a return to form for NYC’s modern day garage kings, it fell short of the band’s landmark first two releases, “Is This It” and “Room On Fire.” Nevertheless, many believed “Angles” to be a step forward from 2006’s “First Impressions of Earth.”

No firm details on the album’s title or release date yet, so here, to hold you over, is a trio of classic Strokes gems:

“Soma”

“Under Control”

“Take It Or Leave It”
